'Writing a C Compiler' is a book

The "Writing a C Compiler" series has been transformed into a book titled "Writing a C Compiler: Build a Real Programming Language from Scratch," set to be released by No Starch Press in late 2023. The book offers a hands-on guide to creating a C compiler, starting from compiling a basic C program to x64 assembly and gradually adding new features in each chapter. It aims to make the process accessible to a wide audience by presenting the implementation code in pseudocode, allowing readers to implement their compiler in any language. The book covers fundamental topics such as expressions, variables, control flow statements, function calls, various types like floating-point numbers, arrays, pointers, and structs, as well as classic optimizations including constant folding, dead code elimination, and register allocation. The author highlights the need for a new intermediate representation in the book, diverging from the original series, and mentions that the blog series will not continue. Despite the delay in the release date, readers who have preordered are assured that efforts are being made to deliver a comprehensive and valuable resource.
